The resolution, introduced on January 20, 2026, calls for the establishment of a Genesis Working Group by the Joint Committee on Technology & Infrastructure. This group aims to coordinate statewide planning in West Virginia for artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), digital infrastructure, and energy-based economic development. The initiative aligns with the Genesis Mission launched by President Trump, which encourages states to enhance their capabilities in these areas to attract federal support and private investment. The resolution highlights West Virginia's abundant natural resources and existing infrastructure as advantageous for developing HPC clusters and data centers.

The Genesis Working Group will consist of legislative members and representatives from relevant state agencies, focusing on several key areas: assessing West Virginia's readiness for AI and HPC, exploring the integration of energy resources with industries like data centers and Bitcoin mining, aligning broadband expansion with workforce development, identifying suitable industrial sites for digital infrastructure, and coordinating with federal programs under the Genesis Mission. The group is tasked with meeting as necessary and providing recommendations to the Joint Committee on Technology & Infrastructure before the 2027 Regular Session, ensuring that West Virginia is well-positioned to participate in these emerging sectors.
